There’s a simple way to find out what Boston University is all about. Stand on any street corner on campus, close your eyes and listen.
Wow.
That buzzing you hear is the sound of the whole world spinning around you. Twenty different languages spoken in a hundred different dialects. Whispers of thoughts your brain hasn’t wrapped itself around yet. Ideas swimming upstream instead of down.
You hear philosophies and opinions moving across all time zones. Crackles of electricity as students and teachers connect. Doors opening to paths you never knew existed. And underneath it all is the rhythm of a city pulsing with life, culture, echoes of history and anticipation of what’s around the next corner.
If that sounds like a place you’d want to be, we hope you’ll visit soon to experience it yourself.
